I don't think that is right. I believe iCloud can and does store material
without necessarily sending it to other Apple devices.

I do store all of my photo library on iCloud and I'm happy to pay a small
monthly fee.

OK - thanks for explaining.

I've learned something new today!

> I back up my Apple mobile devices to my computer rather than the cloud.

I glibly accept Apple's free service which seems to work as designed. Setting
up a new iPhone nowadays is a doddle! Just place the new one next to the old
one and "voilà - it's done!

HOW do you back up your mobile devices to your computer?

Understood. Thank you for taking the trouble to respond.
